A former Ole Miss student has filed a federal lawsuit against the university and the state College Board alleging he was a victim of gender discrimination from his long-term suspension for what he calls a false sexual misconduct allegation.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Jackson, uses the pseudonym Andrew Doe for the expelled student.

Doe’s lawsuit said he was disciplined for having sex with the female while she was under the influence of alcohol, but she wasn’t disciplined for having sex with him while he was under the influence of alcohol.

His lawsuit seeks a jury trial for damages as well as an injunction to prevent the university from including the discipline in his school records.

Doe asks in a motion that his identity and the identity of the female involved remain anonymous, citing that the case involves intimate sex details as well as a student records.

“The determination issued by the defendants against Andrew Doe did not take into consideration the substantial weight of the evidence available,” the lawsuit says. “The actions of the defendants exhibited a gender bias against males and an underlying motive to protect the university’s reputation and financial status.”

State College Board spokeswoman Caron Blanton said they are aware of the lawsuit but don't comment on pending litigation.

According to the lawsuit, Doe and the female were both students at Ole Miss in November 2016 when they were introduced.

The two attended the woman’s sorority formal and he said in the lawsuit they had a good time. Weeks later, he said he asked her if she would like to attend his fraternity’s Christmas party.

In addition to accepting his invitation, she helped him find dates for his fraternity brothers. She also agreed to go to a “pre-game” party with Doe and some of his friends, according to the lawsuit.

At approximately 10:30 p.m., the day of the Dec. 2, 2016, party, a taxi driver picked up the two at the fraternity Christmas party and took them to Doe’s apartment. He said they made out in the cab and she never said she didn’t want to go to his apartment or asked the cab driver to take her home. He said she didn’t hesitate to go into his apartment.

Doe said the two had consensual sex that night and at no time did she tells him to stop touching her or provide any indication that she didn’t want to continue with sexual activity.

He said Roe had told him they needed to be quick because her friends were coming to pick her up. Her said that when her friends came, he and the woman kissed goodnight. He said after she left, he fell asleep on the couch.

At approximately 11:30 that night, a friend of the woman contacted authorities to report that she had been taken to Doe’s apartment against her will and was sexually assaulted. He said law enforcement awakened him to inquire about the incident.

“Confused and shaken,” Doe complied with the officer’s requests and explained he and the woman had consensual sex, the lawsuit says.

The female student didn’t call police herself, but law enforcement showed up at her dorm room after she had gone to bed because of the call they received. She went to the hospital for an examination. The lawsuit said the woman told her treating physician that she was hooking up with Doe when her friends arrived and she didn’t believe she was sexually assaulted by him.

Futher, the lawsuit said the female student advised that Doe didn’t try to stop her from leaving the apartment at any time and never used any force on her.

Although the she didn’t file a complaint, a university representative arrived at the hospital and an investigation was launched.

In March 2017, a hearing was conducted before the University Judicial Council. The council issued a judgment against Doe, expelling him, but it was later amended to suspension until the fall of 2020.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Doe by Jackson attorney J. Lawson Hester. No attorney is listed for Ole Miss or the state. The attorney general's office will likely represent the state.
